Only the Prince of Peace who is Jesus is the author of true peace. Man by himself cannot achieve
peace. But unfortunately the world is destined for destruction so peace on this earth by the
definition you have will not be attainable. Because of the very things that you list. But you and
anyone else who would accept Christ can be assured of the "peace that surpasseth all
understanding"(Phillipians 4vs6-7- The Bible)

peace can be achieved if all we people co-operate each other and live in harmony...but its not
happening...

This world is very competitive anyone would do anything to get what he/she wants...So then there's
quarrel between people and then a conflict between two cities and then a war between two countries
and ultimately death....So we must try to help each other and live in peace

I personally feel that peace will never be possible. Perhapes in certain areas, but as far as
universally, I do not think it is even possible. I feel that each states looks out for its own
interests, and that is compleatly natural and expected, but that because of this peace is
unattainable.

I agree that the family unit is an important part of righting the wrongs in the world, but I do not
think it is the ultimate answer because even though there is this idea that the family is all
important, to some it isn't. Some people have abusive family members or they behave in ways that
cause other members to distance themselves. I agree family is important but I think peace ultimately
comes from respect of one another, be they family or not.

I personally do not belief that peace is possible. Even in a small room of people there are many
different values, morals, beliefs, and opinions. Having everyone live is harmony and get a long is
extremely unlikely.

In order to have world peace, I belief that we all have to share the same religious, morals, values,
ethic, opinions, etc. The chance of that every happening is slim to none.

Peace for the entire world is a wonderful dream, but it is just a dream.

I agree with your statment. Family is just on unit, and in today's world most families are not even
in peace within themselves. There's abuse (emotional, physical, sexual) to its members. Divorce
rates are extremely high, and it's a very normal thing in our society. If a family unit cannot even
keep the peace, just imagine on a larger scale.

Perhaps world peace is a waste of time and energy. Instead, maybe our focus should be directed
toward resolving conflict with as little violence and conflict as possible. But this whole "why
can't we get along" stuff is just a waste of time. It's a dream like someone said, but dreams have
their times and place as well, and in global politics I don't feel that they belong. Sad but true.

I think that we should work to solve world problems but it seems that sometimes we forget about
local ones. Yes curing disease and such is important but let’s not forget about helping those in
our own community who are hungry. People want to help those in Africa but won't donate to local
canned food drives. Explain that to me. We want to stop the human rights violations in other
countries yet little to no funds are dedicated to abuse shelters. I don't want to use the world
hypocritical but it is the best one I can think of to describe the situation.

That's very true. People aren't even willing to help those in their community. Why is it that the
less fortunate are seen as a disgrace? How is it fair to only to empathize with third world
counrties? Yes, they do need help, and they deserved to be helped. But when people see a homeless
man in their community they look at him with disgust & are less willing to empathize with him.
